    Hello !

    I have a Pavilion dv5-1203ax with AMD Turion X2 and ATi Mbility Radeon HD 3450.

    I have a strange issue.. the system stops charging the battery at anytime...sometimes it charges the battery properly and other time it stops at 40 % , 50 % , 90 % etc.

    The battery charges to 100 % normally when Windows is off and power suply is left on...

    I changed the battery but the problem still exists

    While the battery charges... HP Battery Check show Good when it does not, the battery check shows Replace...

    I've formatted the system and tried Vista twice and Windows 7 also and recaliberated the battery but to no success...

    What do you think the problem is ??? Is it the motherboard...

    thanks in advance...

    It might be the battery. How long have you had it?
